ABOUT Us

A neighborhood staple in Willowick since the ‘50s, in 2009, Harshna and Hiren Patel took over the operation of Shoregate Beverage and Liquor. The business has grown steadily ever since. When the opportunity to build a new, larger facility on the corner of 305th and Lake Shore Boulevard became available, the close-knit family dove right in. They designed a bright, wide-open space with banks of windows and plenty of cozy nooks, such as a charming wine cellar and beer growler station that lend to a unique shopping experience. Stacked stone walls and white pillars on the exterior add a sophisticated touch to the neighborhood patina.


By constantly educating themselves about the industry, Harshna and Hiren have forged relationships with people in the area, always listening to the customer, then guiding and recommending the perfect beverage for them, whether it's for an everyday beer, wine for a special dinner, or beverage service for a party of hundreds.

They enjoy getting people to try new things via in-store tastings and special samplings. Their mission today remains one of putting together the largest selection, arming themselves with expansive product knowledge and providing a superior level of customer service—all with a passion for excellence.
